Investigation of Air Exergy from Condenser of Air Split-Conditioner Heat Pump and Its Exergetic Efficiency Depending on Outside Air Temperature

Rising prices for fuel and energy resources make the problem of using alternative energy sources and energy saving relevant not only for the economy of Ukraine, but also for the world economy. One of the ways to reduce energy consumption is the use of air split-conditioner heat pumps in building heating systems, which are using up to 1 kW of electricity from the grid to transport up to 5 kW of heat energy from the outdoor air to the indoor air. The energy perfection of air split-conditioner heat pumps can best be established only on the basis of the analysis of their exergy efficiency.
